About Toners

In short: Toner is the step straight after cleansing that sets the direction of the routine. The toners in the s'hevec range are 200 ml and leave-on: for rough-looking texture, dullness and visible pores, Glyc-Alright; for the look of blackheads, Slyc-Alright; for radiance, Rice Rice Baby, which contains no exfoliating acids; the skin types recommended on its label include sensitive and dry skin.

Which toner for which skin?

  • Combination, normal, oily; dullness, uneven tone, pores: Glyc-Alright – 7% glycolic acid (AHA), 2% niacinamide; pH 3.5–4.0; evening.
  • Combination, normal, oily; the look of blackheads and blemish-prone skin: Slyc-Alright – 2% salicylic acid (BHA), 1.2% AHA; alcohol-free, pH 3.9–4.2; evening.
  • Sensitive, dry, normal: Rice Rice Baby – 5% rice extract, 3% niacinamide; pH 5.5–6.5; morning and evening.

How to start, and can they be used together?

Acid toners are applied in the evening with a cotton pad, away from the eye area; start with 2–3 evenings a week. Do not layer Glyc-Alright and Slyc-Alright on the same evening; if you use both, keep them to different evenings. If you use an acid toner in the evening, move Rice Rice Baby to the morning. All products with AHA and BHA are in the AHA & BHA collection.

What not to expect

A toner does not physically make pores smaller, nor does it correct pitted scars. AHAs can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun: apply sunscreen every morning while using this product and for one week after you stop.
